Additional Rehab Services

The rehabilitation department also offers additional programs to meet the needs of the community:

• Occupational Rehabilitation and Industrial Medicine offers injury prevention education, work conditioning, functional capacity evaluation, employment back screening and work-site analysis.
• Low Vision Rehabilitation helps those with permanent visual impairment that interferes with normal every day functions. The program focuses on making changes in the patient's environment, visual training, compensatory techniques, using optical devices or other visual aids, and retraining in activities of daily living.
• Lymphedema Treatment offers a therapist evaluation of the swelling, movement and flexibility of the affected area and the patient's ability to perform daily tasks. Since there is no cure for lymphedema, the therapist's role is to teach patients how to manage their symptoms at home. This is done with a massage technique that helps the lymph fluid drain more normally. Compression bandages or garments are worn to prevent additional swelling.

It is the goal of Rehab Services to provide the time, knowledge, and best care possible to each person. As a team, in direct communication and relation with your physician, we can provide the highest level of rehab services required to enhance quality of life.
